can't get away from those things unless you wear a face mask. you go out much in portland? if you do, what do you see about other people wearing a mask? caller: most people now are wearing masks wherever you go in most grocery stores demand that you wear a mask. but most people wear to the grocery store. host: we will let you go there. thanks for calling. one of the people commenting on face masks -- the governor of ohio spoke about it sunday. >> i keep talking to the people in the state of ohio and they did a great job for two months keeping their distance. now we are at a different phase

as we open up so not only do we have to wash our hands and keep a distance but now we are asking everyone out in public to wear a mask. there is a recent review done by 17 different think studies that had been done in regard to masks. they are very effective in stopping these droplets. we put them out when we talk and when we sneeze and do other things. depend on how well all of us do. i have great confidence in ohioans. we are promoting wearing the mask and keeping the distance as we open up the economy and we think we can do two things at once. admonia in isadmo north carolina. said thaten the cdc the virus was airborne, the mask

went on and it will stay on it's the cdc says practical to take it off. the ones who refuse to wear the they justthinking don't understand. is a deadlyvirus thing. thank you very much for taking my call. host: george is next in florida, hello. caller: hello. this is george. i think everybody should wear a face mask. president sayshe he's taken, i know he's not taking it. i would like to see him do it in public on television with a drink of water and pills. said he stopped but go

ahead and finish your thought. caller: the thing is this, everybody has to use a face mask including the president and the vice president because they are spreading germs. there is no question about it. i don't know what they are taking. i don't know what they are doing to stay alive but most people like the two world war ii men that died the other day from coronavirus, these are the people that i'm concerned about most of i am 87 years old. i was in the korean situation. when you talk about war, war is hell. i know the president was rejected seven times but i don't know if it was his money or his father. someone should be able to stand and the head him

of the republican party there, they should do the same thing like the rest of the people are doing. host: that was georgia and florida. speaking of florida, people will pay attention to that state on wednesday as mesa and -- as nasa and spacex are prepared for the beginning of the commercial flight program. with twoset to fly nasa astronauts on board making a trip to the international space station. the agency and space x announce they have officially passed the final readiness review.

that launch is set for tomorrow at 4:33 p.m. chris in omaha, nebraska, go ahead. maskr: i have one a face as required. they want you to wear one in the store and even home depot, it doesn't make a difference but you have to build some justodies and if you are sucking in your own air, i think it's counterproductive. does the supermarket require a face mask? some of them are and some of them aren't. miles andive like two the other store is not. there is not a lot of continuity. there is nothing with the county

that requires you to wear one but certain supermarkets or hardware stores are requiring it. from linda, san diego, california. go ahead. caller: i'm going to comment that i do wear a face mask because as required outside to go into a public building or whatever. at home, in my yard come on my street, absolutely not. mask, iearing the face feel like that maybe i'm doing more harm than good because i really cannot breathe that well. air, it was always told was it was great to have fresh air so that being said, i recall in the past, let's take the flu virus. maybe we should have worn masks then because even though there is a vaccine, people still get

the flu or other things like a cold. maybe we should wear a mask then. i am concerned about the fact that it has become more than just a face mask. it has become, the whole thing of the government shutting down the whole country, the governors shutting down the entire state or whatever instead of saying how can we isolate people that are sick like they did hundreds of years ago and let other people go on with their lives so that we can at least be having a life as opposed to everybody is like all robots. everybody does this everybody does that, nobody goes to work. applyinguess you are that to governor newsom in california? caller: i'm very upset. i have learned and keeping on track of this. i have learned that there are at least 28 counties where there are no deaths and they are still

not open. it's like the goalpost changes every time somebody -- a county meets a goalpost. to bek what we need cognizant of the fact that we consequences the against keep an eye shut down as a whole, what is that going to add up to vs. continuing to wear a mask. keep six feet apart, fine, but i think we need to open up businesses and we need to do it very quickly. host: that's linda from san diego, california. , i will showrting you the headline.

this goes back to the presidents asking states to let churches and houses of worship once again meet. you can see those comments the president made last week on her website at www.c-span.org. in california, ajay in rosemead. morning, i am in solidarity with everyone with the masks to protect the people vulnerable in our communities. host: grant in salt lake city, utah. good morning, you are next. caller: good morning to you. 68 and i come from utah and we were told it's 98 c we are not close to new york or california. i wear a face mask and i sanitize my hands after i go

out. this is america. we pass all these laws and well, we are not too good at keeping laws. how did that go yesterday with social distancing? the only person that can protect you is you and you cannot expect anybody else to protect you. masks butquire face people don't want to wear them. this is america, they not going to wear them. host: that's granting utah. a couple of stories related to the november election, looking at the senate.

treasure island which is part of saint pete. it's amazing. all the people that of headed to the beach over the past weekend, it's amazing that most of the people are not even doing any social distancing. it's like the whole thing never happened. i'm in favor of wearing it. copd but i'mage of not on oxygen. i fear for going out because of these people not taking the serious. edgar, another floridian, go ahead. i'm really, surprised. people are so stubborn. follow theon't rules. nevertheless, we should always wear a mask, it's very important, not only for us but

for the other people in public. we need to wear a mask. example, it would be a different thing. but we don't have an example. us is not doing it then people are not going to do it because of that. mask.d to wear a it's very important. thank you. host: from susan in columbus, ohio, you are next. , this is susie calling from columbus, ohio. i enjoy your program but i am all for wearing the mask and i'm going to do anything that will help the older generation as well as anyone get this virus and i think governor dewine is doing an excellent job.

we should continue to protect other people and not be selfish by not wearing a mask. host: are you not concerned about your own health as you are out and about? caller: i'm very concerned about my own health but i also want to be considerate of others. goodnk the mask is a very preventive action for us to take. it doesn't take that much to put one on. host: washington, this is rick. caller: hi, this is rick. host: go ahead. caller: yeah, i don't personally wear a mask that i don't object to people who do. becausebject to is just they think it's a good idea they should foist it off on everyone else. andrsonally carry a gun i've been an armed guard for years. thing for's a safe people to do but i would never

demand that everyone carry a gun just to make other people feel safe. it doesn't add up that way. in both circumstances and for the people who say it's not the same thing, in both circumstances, one person is asking another person to do something to protect them. country founders of our founded this nation on everyone has individual rights, and the responsibility of personal safety is for the person. if you are afraid of catching a virus and you feel the need to wear a mask, by all means, where a mask. i would go to war for your right to do it. just don't demand that other people have to do it because you don't feel comfortable. host: let's hear from brian in las vegas. caller: hello, yes.

wear a mask and i believe it's a patriotic duty for all of us to stay healthy if we can and wearing a mask is a big part of that. host: ok. i think he's gone. let's go to angela in tampa, florida. hello. caller: hello. my name is angela. i have never wore a mask. i haven't called by now because i not only have multiple other medical problems, i feel like i am not going to catch it. host: what makes you say that? caller: because i havec-pap. i have mild arthritis. asthma and have multiple other stuff going on.

i haven't got it yet. with all those conditions you describe, are you concerned about not wearing a mask? because i feel like if i had wore a mask and i have not caught it, it cannot be that contagious. like everyone is saying. that'shost: angela in tampa, florida and we will go next to wyoming. that's where beverly is in casper. caller: hello? my comment is when somebody -- helps to stop this virus -- hello? host: you are on go ahead. don't watch the television because there is a delay. caller: i know.

in,, these people that call they just don't have no respect for anybody helping them. they just don't have no respect for that. they want to do what they want to do and that's it. pennsylvania,n in good morning, you are next. caller: pedro, thank you for taking my call. mask. a i go for long walks because we are in a rural area that i carry a mask with me all the time if i can. if i can keep six or eight feet of distance. forgets that social distancing, the mask, in my opinion is mostly for when you cannot maintain a six foot distance. think of people were

wearing masks, they can become cavalier about social distancing? caller: i haven't seen much of that. the sad thing is after masks were requested, i went to go to a store and sure enough, on my way to my store, i passed a target and there were two people that looked like they were long lost friends and they were hugging and no masks. gosh, what are they thinking? the samey lived in house but i wouldn't think they'd be greeting themselves that effusively if they were in the same infection circle, if you want to call it that. a, columbus, ohio, good morning. caller: good morning. boyfriend and i personally wear masks. i do believe it is a patriotic

duty and some people feel it's my choice and i do what i want. hope peopleat and i keep that same example when it comes to abortion. when you want to protect yourself with a mask, you should do it. keep that in mind when it comes to abortion because abortion only affects that person. , southrom diane carolina, hello. caller: hello. i am personally wearing a mask and i always wear gloves. a political now ,ituation where you find people let's be honest, republicans tend not to wear masks and people who are democrats tend to wear masks more. mask and help prevent infection, i would like

to see people find were not wearing a mask. i don't think it's a personal choice. i think it's about being your brother's keeper and knowing that infections can be decreased by keeping a mask. just about out of time and mark in michigan, go ahead. caller: thanks. science, if everybody is talking science, you can get 250,000 of these little particles of covid in the span of one inch. were the virus and you're looking three mask, the opening would be the equivalent of a two-car garage door being wide open. that ityou are right gives a false sense of security. the only time i wear a mask is and on theo a store door it says you can't enter the store without the mask. i'm doing it just to satisfy them. host: do you see those type of

signs? caller: everywhere. store we can go into for necessities, it's a state ordinance, you have to wear a mask so i put it on. i have it in my hand but if no one is honoring it, i don't wear it. host: joanne, tampa, florida, hello. caller: i do wear a mask. i do have asthma and chronic on titus. chronic issues. happy because people not doing masks in the six feet that it will just -- i am not happy

because you will not doing masks and the six feet, it will just make it worse later on. there were states that had it under control but now they are kicking again. did you pay for the n95 mask? caller: i paid two dollars. person decided to sell them individually. she sells them for two dollars a piece. i happened to get the last five. i threw them away but i found out if i put them in a bag for three days, the virus dies. that is what i do now. last two.to my

host: did you buy them online? caller: no, i got lucky. i bought them in march thinking of going abroad in the virus broke out. i was going to fly from florida to chicago. it took me two weeks to find masks. i am glad that you are asking that question. that the health providers in the military have masks, but i don't see how we can open up the country how we without hand sanitizer being available. i believe every citizen ought to have n95 masks. host: that is joanne giving us her experience. colleen in jamaica, new york, hello.

caller: i think vice president biden showed us the way a leader should act. they had on masks, they were , and they were full of compassion for the people. thank you. : khalid in new york. caller: i think there is some confusion. people think that wearing a mask text them from getting virus. that is not the case. it does not protect us from catching the virus from others, but it does reduce the risk of others getting it from our breath and our coughing and sneezing. it is doing it for others. if you want to protect yourself, you really want to wear the medical n95 mask. i think as a courtesy to others when we are out and about, we

need to wear any face coverings, to prevent them from getting it from us. that is something that i do and i would encourage them to think of others when making -- wearing a mask. john, in columbus, ohio. you are on. caller: my feeling about this is i do think that room that is talking about the right to valid.it is alcoholllowed to have but there are laws and stipulations. beer or aave a beverage, you get to choose what you want. but when you get behind a car you are responsible for other

people. that is how i view the mask. you are wearing it to protect other people. that is my thought. host: how long are you willing to wear a mask. is there something about fatigue setting in wearing mask and taking these precautions? inler: there is no fatigue experience but i understand there are others who have asthma and breathing problems and i understand their concern because they are putting themselves in harm's way. i have someone i personally know who has to take reading treatments. for those of us who can wear them, we are looking at for other people, not just ourselves. we survived this long because we are pack animals to the court and we stuck together. when you start to make decisions for yourself and only yourself, you're putting yourself at risk as well as the other people.

host: roger in lake wales, florida. mask and iear a believe in them and support the businesses who have their employees wear a mask, like publix down here. all employees wear a mask. home depot had a lot of their employees not wearing masks. the cdc has not tested masks, so they are a poor place to quote. they stated they have never tested masks. they work in various levels and i will try to go to the highest grade i can, especially when you listen to some of the other people how they are functioning, you really need to get to n95 cresud. protectyou have to yourself and if we are diligent now, weekend and this quicker red ones who are not diligent not this thing ended. , goodjoe in new york

morning. caller: good morning. i wear a mask and follow social distancing, but academically, the first amendment to the constitution gives us the right of assembly. what is the law that all the governors are overwriting our constitution and preventing us from having the right of assembly? i don't understand how they have the power to override the first amendment and prevent us from assembling. host: good question. i would invite you to go to our website. over the past few months a few times we have engaged in conversation and the constitutional ideas and where it falls within the rights given to the people. if you want to check that out and see what they have said, i invite you to go to the website. you can put that information into the search box. it will give you all of the information that you need your debt will be it for the program
